Sanatan Dharma - An Introduction

Sanatan Dharma is the father & mother of Hindu Dharma. It has given birth to Hindu Dharma. Thus it is much much older than Vedic Dharma as well.

Over time various dharma appear & disappear but not Sanatan Dharma. It always maintains itself over time.

The question appears that what is Dharma? Sanatan Dharma says that Dharma is ones own sense or feeling related to life values. For e.g. what is pace? Pace is ones own speed of working or living. It is a sense that is there inside every person. So Sanatan Dharma says that these and other such senses make up Dharma. Some other examples are sense of peace, sense of self-respect etc. And Sanatan Dharma operates in this area and heals this part of people. Sanatan Dharma calls it bhaav.

Thus also if we have lost a bhaav then Sanatan Dharma can help us earn it back. It teaches us that this entire creation is a gift from One God or Ishwar. In this Dharma, Purush & Prakriti appear after Ishwar. And after them come Brahma, Vishnu & Shiva.
